Makefile.am - nerd question

[Friedrich Beckmann]

Hi Ben,

regarding this line in Makefile.am

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/pspp.git/tree/Makefile.am#n155

that you changed in your commit

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/pspp.git/commit/?id=75c0aef55a6135a0398d520519e79df2b3a21e0e
 . 

I removed that line alltogether and I could not find a difference. That line is 
not sufficient to build the gnulib headers before compiling the c files as the 
dependency is too late in the dependency list. When I remove it and touch the 
headers, then a rebuild is still started. I tried to understand the purpose but 
I could not find one.
